Halloween dress-up attire
Costumes are clothing worn to transform appearance, typically for theatrical performances, Halloween, or costume parties.
Actors wear costumes to become their characters; partygoers wear costumes to become pirates, zombies, or celebrities for a night.
The kids picked out their Halloween costumes in September.
A costume drama or costume piece is set in a historical period, with actors dressed accordingly.
As a verb, to costume is to provide or dress in such attire: She costumed the entire production herself.
